Are you ready for Night of the Necromancer?

Death is not the end...

YOU are a knightly warrior, returning to your ancestral castle home having been away for a number of years fighting a crusade against the forces of darkness in the Mauristatian principality of Bathoria. You are just within sight of home when you are struck down by a band of murderers.

Driven by the need to know why you have been killed, and on whose orders, you rise again as a ghost. This is where your adventure begins, as you set out to solve the mystery of your own murder. All that follows occurs during the course of one night...

April 1 2010? It seems a reasonable time... I hope you'll end it soon, expecially now you're a full-time writer!I'm courious about Balthoria, too, but also about the use you're going to do of standard character features... will you maintain the STAMINA points or is there the possibility of something different, seeing that the main character, if I correctly understood, is a deadman?

Isn't this blogging lark great? Never before have I been able to converse with readers so freely whilst writing a book.

Readers comments on past books influenced the writing of both Howl of the Werewolf and Stormslayer to steadily increasing degrees, but now you actually have the opportunity to influence (albeit only very slightly) the content of Night of the Necromancer! How cool is that?

Standard features (such as SKILL and STAMINA remain) but are handled in a slightly different way and there's one new attribute score in there too.

Oh, and in terms of deadlines... I need to have finished the text by November, the artist the pictures by December, all to make an April release date - and I'm writing another book at the same time as this one. Not sounding quite so doable now, is it? But it will get done. Haven't been to bed before midnight for a week, but it will get done!

Here's what people have been saying about my books...

"Green deserves 10/10." - The Independent

"As welcome as a warm glass of mulled wine on a wintry night, Green's guide to Christmas enhances the pleasures of the festive season, offering a witty cornucopia of Christmas facts and folklore." - The Good Book Guide

"As usual, author Jonathan Green gets mileage out of his monsters, with big action set-pieces that read like Things We'd Like to See in a rip-roaring summer movie if the creature effects were good enough." - SFX Magazine
